Strong Return (2)

On this day, the Third Hokage convened a meeting in his Hokage Office with the Konoha's high-ranking officials and the heads of various clans to discuss matters concerning Uchiha Yue.

Meanwhile, the members of the Konoha Military Police Force, elite ninjas of the Uchiha Clan, were all under Uchiha Fugaku's orders, strictly guarding key routes throughout Konoha in order to gather intelligence on Uchiha Yue as quickly as possible. However, the ninjas responsible for leaving Konoha to search for Uchiha Yue were naturally not members of the Konoha Military Police Force. After all, the Uchiha Clan of the Konoha Military Police Force only manage events within Konoha; outside of Konoha, Uchiha Clan had virtually no real power.

Therefore, whenever a ninja leaves Konoha to search Konoha Uchiha Yue, the Uchiha Clan members of the Konoha Military Police Force rigorously interrogate them in order to obtain information about Uchiha Yue as quickly as possible. However, this practice by the Uchiha Clan Konoha members of the Konoha Military Police Force is very likely to anger some Konoha ninjas.

It seems that Quan Ying Fangxu Taidao Xingcen, both members of the Konoha Anbu, were angered by the Uchiha Clan Anbu of the Konoha Military Police Force!

"Honestly, those Uchiha Clan guys are too arrogant, they're even trying to interfere with our Anbu!"

Having just been questioned by members of the Uchiha Clan's Konoha Military Police Force, Quan Ying Fangxu sighed helplessly and said to Taidao Xingcen beside him, "Hoshino, aren't those Uchiha Clan guys a bit too arrogant! They're just members of the Police Force, what right do they have to question us? In my opinion, their goal is to get information about that Uchiha Yue! Just for Uchiha Yue, those Police Force have almost offended everyone in our Anbu. It's outrageous!"

"Damn it! Fang Xu, stop complaining in front of me! You've been complaining for almost the whole way!"

Hearing Quan Ying Fangxu's words, Taidao Xingcen remained calm and businesslike, slowly saying to Quan Ying Fangxu, "As for me, Fangxu, we just need to do our job well. Those Uchiha Clan guys are arrogant because they are the Uchiha Clan, the powerful family in our village. Besides, even if those Police Force are overstepping their bounds, all we did was tell them some information about the Uchiha Clan Uchiha Yue. As Anbu, we'll have to handle many more things outside the village in the future. So, Fangxu, if we give those Uchiha Clan some face now and build a good relationship with them, we'll get some preferential treatment when we go out of the village to handle things in the future!"

"Preferential treatment? Xingcen, you must be joking!"

When Taidao Xingcen arrived at Taijima, Quan Ying Fangxu sneered, "We're all wearing masks. How are those Uchiha Clan guys supposed to accept our favors? Hoshino, I feel like it's all that Uchiha Yue's fault! If he hadn't caused so much trouble in the village, we wouldn't be working so hard. And it's because of Uchiha Yue that we're being harassed by those Uchiha Clan guys!"

Suddenly, Quan Ying Fangxu snorted coldly, then said to Taidao Xingcen beside him, "Hmph, just don't let me run into that guy named Uchiha Yue! Otherwise, I'll definitely teach him a lesson!"

"Fine, then let's see how you teach Uchiha Yue a lesson!"

As soon as Quan Ying Fangxu finished speaking, Taidao Xingcen assumed that his friend Quan Ying Fangxu was joking and did not take it to heart.

Then, when Quan Ying Fangxu and Taidao Xingcen led the remaining Anbu out of Konoha along the main road...

Suddenly, a thin figure appeared in the line of sight of Quan Ying Fangxu, Taidao Xingcen, and the others, leaving Quan Ying Fangxu and Taidao Xingcen completely stunned.

At this moment, in the eyes of Quan Ying Fangxu and Taidao Xingcen, all they saw was a thin figure carrying an enormous crystal coffin on his back, walking step by step towards the main gate of Konoha. The thin figure walked extremely slowly, each step seemingly requiring all his strength. However, upon closer inspection, it could be seen that even though the thin figure was exhausted, he appeared extremely steady while carrying the crystal coffin, and even the distance of each step was the same.

Immediately afterwards...

After Quan Ying Fangxu, Taidao Xingcen, and the others stood there dumbfounded for a long time, staring at the face of the thin figure in front of them...

Suddenly, Taidao Xingcen narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Quan Ying Fangxu beside him, "Fangxu, that guy up ahead looks like Uchiha Yue! We must quickly send someone back to inform the Third Hokage! Uchiha Yue has returned to the village!"

"Xingcen, just send anyone. Have you forgotten what I just said?"

Upon hearing Taidao Xingcen's words, Quan Ying Fangxu's face immediately curled into a cold smile.

Immediately, Quan Ying Fangxu casually assigned one of his ANBU Anbu, saying, "You, go back and inform the Third Hokage that Uchiha Yue has returned to the village."

"Yes!"

Upon receiving Quan Ying Fangxu's order, the Anbu did not hesitate at all and rushed directly towards Quan Ying Fangxu.

After the Anbu left as ordered, Quan Ying Fangxu, with a cold smile on his face and his hand gripping the sword at his waist, slowly walked towards the direction where Uchiha Yue was.

"Fang Xu, what are you going to do?"

Seeing Quan Ying Fangxu holding a sword, Taidao Xingcen sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to stop Quan Ying Fangxu.

However, when Quan Ying Fangxu saw Taidao Xingcen blocking his way, he simply bypassed Taidao Xingcen.

At the same time, Quan Ying Fangxu also spoke in a cold tone to Taidao Xingcen behind him, "Xingcen, I'll show you how I keep my promise!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Quan Ying Fangxu's figure flashed and he was already in front of Uchiha Yue.

Uchiha Yue, who was carrying the crystal coffin, naturally stopped in his tracks when Quan Ying Fangxu suddenly blocked his way.

However, Uchiha Yue, who was standing in front of Quan Ying Fangxu, kept his eyes closed as he traveled, and did not use his Purple Eye to perceive the surrounding situation.

Therefore, when Quan Ying Fangxu stood in front of Uchiha Yue only sensed Quan Ying Fangxu's location, but did not know Quan Ying Fangxu's identity.

Then, Uchiha Yue, who had stopped walking, slowly lowered the crystal coffin on his back and asked, "Who are you?"

"Who am I? I'm Anbu from Konoha sent to arrest you!"

Upon hearing Uchiha Yue's question, Quan Ying Fangxu's sneer deepened, and he then retorted irritably to Uchiha Yue.

But...

To Quan Ying Fangxu's utter surprise, when Uchiha Yue heard that he was Anbu who had come to arrest Quan Ying Fangxu, Uchiha Yue's expression did not change at all.

Immediately, to Quan Ying Fangxu's surprise, not long after Quan Ying Fangxu finished speaking, Uchiha Yue, with a cold face and an extremely icy tone, said:

"You dare to arrest me Uchiha Yue?"

"Get out of here!"
